U of M joins national stroke research project

We as survivors need to get completely involved in StrokeNet because if this is left up to researchers and doctors they will completely fail in following a strategic plan just like they've been failing for the past 40 years.

The idea behind StrokeNet is to allow institutions to share the information and data they collect to speed up research and cut costs.
“The new system is intended to streamline stroke research, by centralizing approval and review, lessening time and costs of clinical trials, and assembling a comprehensive data sharing system,” says Dr. Petra Kaufmann, associate director for clinical research at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
The NIH reports the 25 research centers are strategically placed in every region of the country, and were selected because of demonstrated experience in stroke research and recruitment, including the ability to enroll underrepresented populations.
The University of Minnesota was selected because of its reputation of academic excellence, dedication to research and advancement of medical knowledge, the U reports.

I would suggest contacting  Dr. Petra Kaufmann at NINDS to get involved.
